How Can a DataType be available In a specific WorkArea?

You are asking for DataType to be available.

Only In a specific WorkArea is unvisible ?

Here, you are asking a specific workarea to be i(u)nvisible.

Can you please provide the code you have written to specify the DataType within Templating.cfg?

Is your TS server on Unix or Windows? I've found that some of the regex's don't work correctly on windows unless you use \\ for path separators.

In my opininon - it's best to set the regex's to ".*" and use the prune-missing-files attribute at the top of the templating.cfg (RTFM FormsPublisher Developer's Guide for more details) - they say it causes a performance hit but in my experience that "hit" is so minimal as to not be noticed.

However - this then begs the question from the original posting - when you say you want it visible in only one workarea - do you mean only one branch? or do you really mean that you have multiple workareas on a branch and you only want the template type to be visible in one of the workareas? If so - then it sounds like it's questionable as to whether you understand how TeamSite workareas work - but the only solution I can think of would be to use some FormAPI code that checks the workarea and then, if not in the correct workarea - displays a message and hides all the (other) fields. The template time would still be visible, but it wouldn't be useable in the other workareas.
